It has been one year since Donald Trump returned to the White House for a second term. So how much has he changed the US — and the world — in just twelve months? And what might the rest of his presidency look like?

In this episode, The Standard’s Political Editor Nicholas Cecil takes stock of Trump’s first year back in office with Laurel Rapp, Director of the US and North America Programme at Chatham House. Laurel previously served as Deputy Director on the US Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff, working on American grand strategy under Presidents Obama, Biden and Trump — twice.

Together, they reflect on the key moments of Trump’s first year back, what is different this time around, and what it all means for America’s role on the world stage.
